The idea behind the characters seemed to change over time, in the first game they were all dolls in the toy box and when Master Hand snapped his fingers they came to life, so I figured Master Hand was supposed to be a real person playing with the dolls and having fantasy fights between Nintendo characters.
Then in Melee they were trophies but came to life to battle (opening is where I'm taking this from) and the ending was all the same.
This time around they're more like real characters that turn into trophies if beaten but can be brought back at any time by touching the trophy. All leading up to master hand again but then its controlled by a super natural being and not a person like the N64 seemed. Lots of the early stuff is assumption but it makes sense cause that's what we all did with our action figures as kids.
